Boston University

Only one of two soccer players to win the Mickey Cochrane Award as the top BU male athlete, Joachim Kaland had a standout senior campaign for the record books. Previously tabbed as the team’s top freshman in 1998 and an All-Conference Second Team honoree in 1999, the two-time team captain overcame his injury-plagued junior season with a still-standing school-record 19 goals in 2001.
 
In total, he posted one hat trick in a win over Lehigh and tallied six braces. He added six assists for 44 points, second most in program history, to earn both NSCAA All-America Second Team and America East Player of the Year accolades.
 
With Kaland’s help, the Terriers captured their first conference regular season title in seven years and finished at 13-5-1 (9-1-1 AE). Kaland’s 11 goals and 27 points tallied in conference play that year remain an America East record, while his 19 overall goals are third most ever. Kaland’s 33 career goals remain tied-for-fifth most in the program record book, while his 81 points are tied-for-seventh.
